Any chance of ever adding the ability to set spawn via bed?

I understand the choice to have spawn be set via temporal gear, but do we know whether or not a feature will be added to set spawn via bed, perhaps just as a world gen setting for quality of life?

I am also aware of the mod doing this, but as other mods are integrated into vanilla gameplay, this one would be a welcome addition to myself, as well as others.

It's entirely up to the devs, but I'm guessing the answer is no, that will need to be added via mod. My reasoning for that is Tyron mentioned in an interview some time back that the player's ability to choose a spawnpoint is quite powerful, hence the design decision to limit that ability to temporal gears. A rare item with limited respawns per use--best to be careful about when one is used.

Definitely! And it certainly sets it apart from other block games, I’m just too much of a weenie to of ever tried the temporal gear respawn system

It's a system that's rather tough when first jumping into the game, but after you've got enough experience to avoid most typical deaths it's pretty straightforward.

Definitely. I'm new here, bought the game 9 days ago. First day of playing I died to wolves and then later a deer (didn't know they fight back lol)

So was kinda pissy with the respawn mechanic but the gears aren't all too expensive, once you know where to get them, how to use them, how to earn some currency. Like you said, it's pretty straightforward, just takes some time getting used to. Haven't even died since that deer because I got more strategic with my playing.

It's generally only the males that fight back. The females will almost always run away. It does make the deer dangerous but it can be a very handy mechanic if you prefer melee fighting.

At the moment I used a command to set the spawn near the base, until I get a really good grasp of the game, especially since I set my base so far from the initial spawn point (due to absolutely no clay in the area)
